Serotype Distribution in Non-Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia: Association with Disease Severity and Implications for Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines

BACKGROUND: There is limited knowledge of serotypes that cause non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (NBP). Here we report serotypes, their associated disease potential and coverage of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) in adults with NBP and compare these to bacteremic pneumonia (BP). METHODS: A...
